While a lot of the arcade games shown at EAG had already been revealed at 2016 IAAPA just three months before, for many this was their first showing in Europe.
There were also a number of new games, that have barely any information available other than what has been posted on the internet by visitors to EAG, revealed at the show including:
Splash (by Raw Thrills / InJoy, shown by Bandai Namco)
Splash is a new racing boat game from Raw Thrills and InJoy. It is an action packed jet ski simulator with real-time motion feedback. Roll and pitch motions to replicate jet ski movements.

Another app-to-arcade release. Using unique one-button mechanics, players race counter clockwise against time to survive the longest while being chased by electrical clock hands.
Crossy Road Disney (by Adrenaline Amusements)
Crossy Road Disney is a mobile game that Adrenaline Amusements have turned into an arcade game.
Crossy Road Disney is a special version of Crossy Road Arcade from Adrenaline Amusements featuring Disney titles The Lion King, Finding Dory, Pirates of the Caribbean, Inside Out, Wreck-it Ralph and Mickey & Friends.
The arcade version is a two player video redemption game. Players must navigate their way across busy roads, train tracks, and over rivers to go as far as they possibly can. With each successful jump, players are awarded a ticket.
Crazy Tower (by Adrenaline Amusements)
While Crazy Tower was shown at IAAPA 2016, it has only recently gained attention.
Crazy Tower is a video redemption game that uses a unique semi-transparent pyramid shell to create a holographic like effect for the game. The game itself is like an isometric stacker game. Stack the building high for tickets.
Choppy Wood (by Raw Thrills, shown by Bandai Namco)
Players compete against the time meter or each other. The player wins tickets by accumulating as many chops as possible before the time meter runs out.
